Critics ripped the establishment media for inaccurately promoting Beyoncé’s appearance on Friday at a Harris campaign event as a performance in which she would apparently sing for attendees.
The Harris event, held in Huston, did not feature Beyoncé singing or dancing.
Instead, Beyoncé only spoke to supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, disappointing fans who expected the pop star “to perform at Kamala Harris Rally in Houston,” as the Huffington Post reported, along with many other outlets, such as NBC News, MSNBC, Vanity Fair, and USA Today.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, questioned why the media misled voters, while senior adviser Tim Murtaugh suggested the media did so to create a larger crowed than Harris could typically draw.
“But she didn’t sing, disappointing all the people who came to see her (and not to see Harris). Why did they lie? It couldn’t have been to build a crowd, could it?” he posted:

Beyoncé expected to perform at Harris rally in Houston. The pop star is from Houston and her appearance there comes amid a tightening Senate race between Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic Rep. Colin Allred.

MSNBC treated it as breaking news when the Harris campaign announced that Beyoncé would appear AND PERFORM at a rally in Texas.
The pop star did appear but only spoke and did not sing.
THEY LIED TO BUILD A CROWD‼️

Why did @KamalaHarris @IanSams @NBCNews @HuffPost @USATODAY @VanityFair and countless others tell us we were getting a performance last night in Houston? What went wrong?

The Beyonce concert featuring Kamala is off to a great start 😂🤣
The Harris campaign held the event in Houston, Texas, the birthplace of Beyoncé, but a state that Harris has little chance of winning. In the final month of the campaign, Harris has focused on holding events with rich and famous supporters in solid blue states. She has not done as much campaigning on the ground in swing states.
Trump, in contrast, has conducted multiple events a day throughout crucial swing states. Earlier in the week, Trump campaigned in North Carolina, after serving McDonald’s customers in Pennsylvania and holding a rally on Sunday. He attended a town hall and held a rally on Wednesday in Georgia. He then rallied supporters on Thursday in Arizona. On Friday, Trump attended an immigration event in Austin, Texas, sat for an interview on top podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” and held a rally in Traverse, Michigan. The former president will hold a rally on Saturday in Novi, Michigan. He is also scheduled to hold a historic event at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday.
